No the main character that's missing is Mr. Drysdale's secretary. But....I can't remember her name.

 

 

OK...I cheated. In some cases I just put a blank where I couldn't remember it.

 

I loved Mr. Ed and My Favorite Martian!!!

Jeepers.

 

MtRider ---gonna hafta get an "ole' lady with cane" smilie for us elderly. .....sheeeesh, all that WAS a LONG time ago, wasn't it?

Edited May 19, 2013 by Mt_Rider

[CrabGrassAcres]

Mt Rider, the secretary is who I thought you meant. I can see her but couldn't remember her name except Miss _____ so I googled it, Miss Jane.

[Annarchy]

But... but...

 

How many licks does it take to get to the center of the tootsie roll pop? Doesn't the owl say, "One... Two... Three!"

 

 

 

I missed 4. I'm thinking it is because we did not get a TV in the house until the late 70's. The time we were allowed to watch it was limited to Sunday's, The Wild Kingdom and The Disney Movie. Lawrence Welk does not count....

[Jeepers]

The secretary was Miss Jane Hathaway. I forgot about her. I was going to say Sam Drucker but he wasn't a regular. He was the grocer from Bugtussle...I think.

 

If you ask me about any of the shows on TV since the late 70's I would't have a clue. Same with most of the 'movie stars' now and also most of the singers.

 

 

Although 2 weeks ago I did discover Rascal Flatts. I thought they were just country. Thanks to my library...I now have 2 great CD's I put together. One of the fast stuff and one of the slow stuff. Most days I be jammin' . Some days the tears fall .

[Daylily]

I got 18 plus two bonus ones. I got most of Mt Rider's too.

[Mt_Rider]

Jane Hathaway!!! Thank you! It's been bugging me!

 

MtRider LOL
